Seek support, including possible federal and other funding for state-sponsored wireless communication systems

Develop recommendations for legislation that may be required to promote interoperability of state wireless communication systems

Foster cooperation and coordination among public safety and emergency response organizations

TT eeeet—™ SIEC Interoperability Project Goals

Goal 1: Establish statewide interoperability as a high priority for all stakeholders, including state, local, regional, tribal and federal agencies and entities.

Goal 2: Maximize the improvements in interoperability by institutionalizing collaborative approaches across the state based upon common priorities and consensus at the regional level.

Goal 3: Create an architecture approach which establishes a framework for interfacing between disparate systems, and promotes migration to new technologies in line with relevant standards platforms.

Goal 4: Migrate to a technology that provides state, local, regional, tribal and federal systems with the level of interoperability that is appropriate for their missions.

Goal 5: Optimize the use of all funding sources at the state, local, regional, tribal, and federal levels.

Goal 6: Maximize the use of “best current practices” approaches to improving interoperability.

Goal 7: Create a statewide backbone communications capability that would provide connectivity for state, local, regional and tribal groups.
